Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic storage and loading for sawing of pipes or bars, and in particular to an intelligent storage and loading system for sawing of pipes or bars. Background Art
[0002] Currently, steel pipes and bars are cut to specified lengths using saws. The sawing process for these two types of bars is similar. For example, the process begins by unloading bundles of steel pipes from a truck using a crane. These bundles are then stacked in the workshop's raw material storage area, where support frames are typically installed. Alternatively, the pipes can be stacked directly in a cross-shaped pattern without the use of support frames. When the stacked steel pipes need to be sawed, a crane is used to suspend a bundle of steel pipes on top to the loading rack of the steel pipe sawing machine. After loosening the bundled steel pipes, the steel pipe loading rack is used to load the materials to complete the sawing. The specific structure of the loading rack is the patent number CN201820680372.7, and the patent name is a structure recorded as a loading rack for round tubes or round bars. The sawing host is located at the downstream end of the loading rack and is used to receive the steel pipes or steel bars fed in. The sawing host mainly uses a motor to drive the saw blade to rotate to saw the steel pipes or steel bars. There are relatively mature equipment available on the market for sawing hosts.
[0003] However, the current sawing process and equipment of the steel pipe have the following disadvantages: 1. Low space utilization, the storage of the steel pipe, the transfer of the steel pipe and the loading rack of the steel pipe all need to occupy a large place, the cost of the site is high, and the distance from the storage position of the steel pipe to the loading position and the sawing position of the steel pipe is relatively far; 2. The current storage, transfer of the steel pipe all need to be lifted and carried by the crane, the efficiency is low, the safety is low, and the repeated carrying is easy to occur, which wastes manpower and material resources; 3. The current storage of the steel pipe is unreasonable, the lower steel pipe is pressed by the upper steel pipe, which is easy to cause material bending; 4. The current steel pipe storage and management is relatively chaotic, when the specifications of the steel pipe are more, the storage and management of the steel pipe is particularly prominent, manual searching of the specifications of the steel pipe is needed, sometimes the cut steel pipe is pressed under the bottom by other steel pipes, which causes the upper steel pipe to be moved away, resulting in very low work efficiency; 5. The current steel pipe sawing process needs complex operation when supplementing or replacing the specifications, for example, when supplementing, the whole bundle of steel pipes in the storage area needs to be lifted manually to the loading rack; and the whole process is uncontrollable, for example, whether the crane is occupied or not, whether the worker is busy with other things, these uncontrollable factors cause long waiting time of the sawing machine and low efficiency; and for replacement, all the scattered pipes on the loading rack need to be sawed completely, and then the replacement operation can be performed, so the waiting time is longer, of course, the storage steel pipes on the loading rack can be removed in the middle, and then other specifications of steel pipes are supplemented, which increases the labor intensity of the workers, and still needs a long waiting time.
